Mrs. Considine to satisfy this nostalgia took her for a week's trip to the English Lakes. She returned railing at Scawfell and Skiddaw for unimportant undulations, and declaring her preference for London. So in London she remained. In these early stages of our acquaintance with Liosha, she counted in our lives for little more than a freakish interest.
"You ought to have a jolly good thrashing," roared Jaffery. At this Liosha, who had endured our abuse with the downcast eyes of angelic meekness, took a golfclub from a bag lying on the hall table and handed it to the red-bearded giant. "I guess I do," she said. "Beat me."
"And at the same time," said I, "Jaff might let us hear his story. That is to say if you have no objection, Mrs. Prescott." "With us," said Liosha, "the guest is expected to talk about himself; for if he's a guest he's one of the family." "Shall I go ahead then?" asked Jaffery, "and you chip in whenever you feel like it?" "That would be best," replied Liosha.
For the first time during their intercourse they met on the same plane. "She's really quite a good sort," said Jaffery. But if it was pleasant to see him with Liosha, it was still more touching to watch his protective attitude towards Doria. He seemed so anxious to do her service, so deferential to her views, so puzzle-headedly eager to reconcile them with his own.
The proposal evoked but lukewarm enthusiasm. Liosha being convinced that they would turn her into a nun the last avocation in the world she desired to adopt. Her simple idea was to go out to America, like her father, return with many bags of gold and devote her life to the linked sweetness of a gradual extermination of her enemies.
Liosha counselled immediate return to Neuchatel and assassination of his rival. To kill another man for her was the surest way to a woman's heart. The waiter approved the scheme, but lacked the courage also the money to go to Neuchatel. Liosha, espousing his cause warmly, gave him the latter at once. The former she set to work to instil into him.
Considine, called into consultation, was informed that Mrs. Prescott must either cease from instigating the waiters to commit murder or find other quarters. Liosha curled a contemptuous lip. "If you think I'm going to have anything more to do with the little skunk, you're mistaken." And that evening when Josef, serving coffee in the drawing-room, approached her with the tray, she waved him off.
Pity to miss 'em." "If I saw any more of Euphemia, I might hurt her," said Liosha. "Oh, Lord!" said Jaffery. "But you must go somewhere." He turned to me with a groan. "Look here, old chap. It's awfully rough luck, but I must take her back to the Savoy and mount guard over her so that she doesn't break my poor sister's neck." "I wouldn't go so far as that," said Liosha. "How far would you go?"
There follows a description of the monkey and its antics, and a long account of a chase all over the ship, in which all the ship's company including the captain took part, to the subversion of discipline and navigation. But you see he switches off at once to Liosha and the trivial records of the humdrum day. At last he had something less trivial to write about.
Then he came up to Liosha you and Barbara should have seen her it was sultry, not a breath of air and she just had on a thin bodice open at her throat and the sleeves rolled up and a short ragged skirt and was bareheaded. "'Why the Hades didn't you stop 'em, missus?
